oblonga, intus alba ; labii externi denticulis internis paucis, 

 distantibus. 



Shell oblong, thick, smooth, whitish, with longitudinal 

 chesnut coloured flexuous lines ; spire acuminated, volutions 

 7j furnished with a single row of small tubercles ; aperture 

 oblong-ovate, white within, internal teeth of the outer lip few 

 and distant. 



Kiener's French description and his figure do not agree, but 

 his figure accords with the character given by Lamarck, who 

 does not mention any tubercles, nevertheless, the only speci- 

 men we have seen, and which was obtained by Mr. Cuming, 

 from Lamarck's collection,' possesses these tubercles, and in 

 other respects^accords with Lamarck's character: we judge from 

 these circumstances, that there are two varieties, one with 

 tubercles, and the other without.
